It’s been over a week since the last update and writing a blog post is as close to painting as I’m likely to get for the next week or two, so please allow me to indulge a bit. This isn’t the usual studio / painting update.

So I decided to stop putting it off and just dive back into Menoth. It’s been like 6 months at least since I’ve seriously touched a Menoth model (painting wise, I’ve been playing them this whole time), since I decided at the start of 2014 that I would indeed repaint …read more

This past weekend I attended another tournament with Certs and his crew at Victory Comics. The event was the same as last time (300pt YAMS, Draw 6: Keep 2, Share 2, Discard 2), and I also kept my list the same as last time: I forgot to take pics, …read more

Today, I have some crappy cell phone pictures of what I’ve been able to do over my lunch hours here and there this week. Mostly, it’s been applying the same treatment to all of the Scythean’s upper armor.

Since I enjoy playing Khador and Legion who both hail from the snowy northern regions of Caen, I need snow. I also want snow that’ll be on par with my paint jobs. I’ve tried the GW snow and I used white glue + baking soda for the Pink …read more

Wanted to try a muddy earth base for my upcoming Kraken so I ordered the Weather Pigment Set – Wet Earth from Secret Weapon Miniatures. The set I’m talking about (and the guide I followed) are here: http://www.secretweaponminiatures.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_38&products_id=364

I tested the set out on a resin swamp base from Secret Weapon. …read more

Obviously, Katya was the primary item on my work table last month. As a result, I haven’t made nearly enough progress on my Aquablight. Especially with the Nova Open just a little over two months away.

Plarzoid posted a recap over on his site of the First Annual Feat of Service custom caster event held this weekend. I’ve talked about event before in my series on building my own custom caster in the spell draft, Rohan, Demon of the Mists*. But you have got to …read more

Here’s something I found on the Infinity subreddit. Infinity’s 3rd Edition is seemingly around the corner, so information is starting to trickle out about it. I think that a big presentation will end up being at this year’s Gen Con. Let’s see what we have so far… …read more

The Feat of Service event is coming up soon, and I’ve been tapped to paint a model donated by Fairfax Comics & Gaming for the silent auction. That model is Vlad3. Vlad has been know as the Dark Prince, the Dark Champion, and then his cavalry version went and mucked …read more

As June 7th draws nearer I’ve continued to work on my custom caster for the event. Unfortunately I won’t be able to make it to the event itself, but that hasn’t stopped me from converting my caster and slapping some paint on her!

I got frustrated with trying to work out a scheme on the Legionnaire, and so I revisited the original Blackfrost Legion article, and decided to focus on a beast, instead. This is a WIP, and it’s only an arm, but I think it nicely shows what I’m thinking of …read more

I’ve been on an Infinity kick as of recently. Unfortunately getting a game in is hard when I already have my Wednesday nights devoted to Warmachine and the guys meet for Infinity on Thursdays. It’s hard to squeeze in both and be out two nights a week (technically it’d …read more
